The problem is that the option code currently uses an array with one
entry per option, making testing for set/unset options nicely small
and fast. Enhancing that is not trivial.

Side note: once we have modules autoloadable on parameters, this might 
be another argument for mocing towards a associative-array based
option system.

Well, the new completion system (more precisely: the example
implementation of the new completion system) uses autoloaded functions.
